[ crying ] >> but you know, uhm, i just revere him. >> fans have been leaving flowers and mementos on robin williams's star at the hollywood walk of the fame. at the red star premier for the expendables last night stars teared up. >> i'm a dad. anytime a father -- [ pause ] >> -- loses kids or kids lose their father, it's hard. but there's something about being able to have the kind of life that he had and the kind of energy that he put out and everything he did that we have to take that because that's

what some people leave behind. >> just arrived a few hours ago from europe. the first thing i saw on television was shocking, sad. yesterday we had a superstar. today, unfortunately, we have a legend. our condolences to his family. >> he was a great familiar and also a friend and i admired him. and, you know, he's a legend. it's unbelievable. >> one of the greatest we were all blessed to have that experience and those of us who had a chance to work with him are even more blessed. if anything else, i learned how wonderful it is to be an artist by watching him, how wonderful it is. rest in peace, my brother. >> and reaction continues to come in on the death of robin williams. we're tracking his career at kpix.com and you can leave your tributes to williams on our facebook page. >> i'm still in shock over this. >> i know. >> he was such a genius and aside from all his work he did in the movies and on tv, he

in the next 20 minutes. same thing on the approach to the richmond/san rafael bridge, westbound 580 approaching castro street traffic down to one lane. at the toll plaza traffic is still light. again there are some delays. they have been doing that work overnight. and in the east bay the roadwork continues again in our usual spots eastbound 24 counter commute on the approach to the caldecott tunnel. that is scheduled until 6:00. sometimes caltrans picks that up ahead of schedule. and the roadwork continues into the macarthur maze westbound 80 closed to eastbound 580. that is your "kcbs traffic." back to you guys. >> thank you. still no sign of a shooter opening fire at a bay fair mall in san leandro. two men were arguing inside the mall yesterday. they ended up outside and one pulled out a gun and shot the other in the leg. police are now asking for witnesses to come forward. new this morning, the men accused of having a bomb -- the man accused of having a bottom in his san francisco apartment may face a charge in connection

in about an hour. right now pretty clear coming into san francisco especially if you have fastrak. westbound 580 at north flynn, an accident there, delays are building also 205 out of tracy through the altamont pass. once you get past north flynn, everything clears out. that was quickly cleared to the right-hand shoulder so no lanes are blocked. it's just the looky-loo traffic slowing down the commute a bit early morning. here's a live look at the nimitz, 880. as you come through downtown once again you may still hit that overnight roadwork jackson to embarcadero until 5:00 but once you get past the oakland coliseum, hayward, you're just cruising farther south. and here's a live look. you can see those sensors 22 miles per hour. we put one up approaching canal so obviously there are delays westbound 580 on the approach to the richmond/san rafael bridge. traffic has been down to just one lane overnight. that is scheduled to wrap up by

5:00, as well. here's a live look once again approaching the richmond/san rafael bridge toll plaza. traffic is very quiet at this hour. in the east bay once again the overnight roadwork continues eastbound 24 helding to the caldecott. a little bit of slowing now between oakland and orinda. and the macarthur maze roadwork also has that connector shut down until 5:00 westbound 80 to eastbound 580. that's the latest from here in the "kcbs traffic" center. frank, michelle, back to you guys. >> right, liz. we'll keep that traffic thing going. lanes closed for more than a year on a stretch of warren avenue down in fremont. they are open again. it was all because of a grade separation project part of the bart extension that will bring the train system down to san jose. the vta which is overseeing the project says the grade separation puts barring tracks, freight train tracks and the street on different levels. >> this is a significant congestion relief and safety in the city of fremont. what this project does is it

separates the current freight railroad traffic and the future bart system from automobile and pedestrian traffic. >> the new warm springs bart station in south fremont expected to open late next year. stations in milpitas and north san jose's berryessa district are slated to open up in the end of 2017. another transit strike could hit parts of the bay area. as fill phil reports, this time it involves workers -- as phil matier reports, this time it involves workers with the golden gate transportation district. >> right now i'm saying there is a real possibility there will be another strike. >> reporter: if there is a strike, it will likely start with the golden gate bridge district's ferry operators just as it did in 2012. >> we hope to avoid a strike. we think it's creditably detrimental to our customers and so we're working with them to reach a settlement. >> reporter: only this time, it could be a lot worse. you see, the district's buses would be expected to pick up the slack during a strike but thanks to a wave of retirements, vacations and absenteeism, the bus service is

having a hard time even meeting its current schedule. even if they had enough drivers on paper there's a good chance that the bus drivers would stay off the job, as well. so this time there could be a total shutdown of ferries and buses. >> yes, it's possible that we would go on strike and the entire system would be shut down. >> reporter: that could affect bus riders from santa rosa all the down to san francisco. >> the traffic would be a mess so something we don't want to see happen. >> reporter: ferry boat captains make $85,000 a year, deck hands $50,000, plus benefits. bridge management is offering a 3% a year raise but wants the workers to kick in 2% more for their healthcare something the union calls a shell game. >> so a 3% raise turns out not to be that at all even though that's what they're telling the public. >> reporter: the union wants a 3.75% raise and is willing to make a .5% hike in its healthcare contributions for one year, something the district says it can't afford.

>> we have financial limits and it's not fair to our ratepayers to indiscriminately to go along with any desire people have. >> reporter: phil matier, kpix 5. >> time now 4:52. finding the money for college, where to find the online gold mine coming up. >> and we want to invite all you pet lovers, sends your questions about their health and well-being. email pets@kpix.com or on our facebook page, search kpix/cbs, and we'll have our pet expert give you an answer every friday right here at noon. two men walked in to a mcdonald's and discovered an extraordinary burger with heaps of jalapeños... ...now for just two dollars. they also discovered the phenomenon of "economnomnomics" nomnom... nom? mcdonald's dollar menu and more.
